In an alarming turn of events, the Permanent Mission of Pakistan to the UN found itself in the crosshairs of cyber attackers who not only hacked the official email IDs used by the information wing of the mission but also compromised its official YouTube channel.

After being hacked, the name, banners, and content of the YouTube channel were altered. The YouTube channel and email of the Information Wing were hacked on Friday at 4 PM US time.

The Permanent Mission of Pakistan to the United Nations has requested that all emails and videos be ignored until the email account and YouTube channel are recovered.
